TESLA MODEL 3 V3 SUPERCHARGER TEST: HOW LONG DOES IT TAKE TO CHARGE?

EV Channels Review

This video provides a detailed V3 Supercharger test for a 2021 Tesla Model 3 Long Range (Dual Motor). The reviewer meticulously documents the charging process from 0% to 100%, focusing on key metrics like time to add 100 and 200 miles of range, and comparing the results to a 2019 Model 3. While the 2021 Model 3 reaches 80% charge in 32 minutes (slightly longer than the 2019 model, attributed to a higher starting state of charge and battery capacity), the reviewer highlights that the peak 250 kW rate is held for a shorter duration compared to the older model. The video emphasizes that despite the rapid initial charge, the rate drops significantly after 80%. A key takeaway is the comparison with the Audi e-tron's charging curve, which, despite a lower peak rate, maintains a more consistent charge for longer. Ultimately, the reviewer concludes that the Model 3 remains a fantastic and convenient car for road trips due to its fast charging speeds at lower states of charge and the robust Supercharger network, making it a 'no compromise' EV.
